Our bus tour of Austin was the highlight of our weekend! Being able to sit on the top deck, seeing SO many sights and learning the history behind them, being entertained and taught by our very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Chad - a 10/10 experience and we loved every minute of it! Will definitely recommend to friends in Austin, and visitors!

Very informative tour. The tour guide was personable and engaging. The bus was clean and plenty of water! That was a good thing as it was very hot on the tour. The tour gave us a really good start to our visit in Austin.

Amazing amazing experience! Worth every dime. You make me have a different perspective on tourism. A must do every time you are in a new city and the tour conductor/ speaker brought everything to live. Loved listening to him and watching him he was hilarious!!! Had everyone cracking up!

Interesting tour. It was far too hot to sit on the second level, which would have made for a much nicer experience. Think twice before booking during the summer when the high humidity and bright sunshine make the ride extremely uncomfortable. On cooler days, it’s a much better experience.
